Best scored TWO goals in a European Cup quarter-final match against Benfica at the Estádio da Luz on 9 March 1966

[@Ian-bq7gp]

George Best and Maradona were absolutely top level. Best was the first £1000 per week footballer.. Maradona won the world cup and Best was the most famous celebrity player who loved birds and booze the 5th Beatle. What a great player he was but it was the 1960s and both Pele and Best were world famous. Its hard to compare players of different eras but its clear there are players who had the nationality to be in teams like Northern Ireland and although Best was untouchable in the team in internationals like against USSR and Spain and getting a hat trick against Benfica in the final of the european cup. I saw him play at Fulham when he was on the slide and he wasnt fit but his footwork, touch was at another level. Pele scored over 1000 goals but Maradona was possibly the best talent ever. Its hard to say but the celebrity Best endured was crazy and mental health problems hit these players. Greaves was clearly such a great striker but Sir Alf Ramsey broke his heart. Im not surprised he drank so heavily and it nearly killed them and coke is some drug that enables drinkers to drink more and longer and its very much the sex and drugs and rock and roll party lifestyle like Keith Moon, the WHO drummer.

That's correct, I did some electrical work at his house in Heswall, and when we turned up one morning at 8.30, he asked what we were doing there at this time, not realising the time because he hadn't been to bed, he'd been up all night playing pro evolution soccer.

All Clubs with young Players aged 16-24 should set aside 70% of the Players wages and put them in secure investment, for example Electricity or Gas or Water Companies and when they reach 24 they can take out what they like, but being 24 they should have the sense not to use it on drinking or Gambling, and I'm pretty sure they get tested daily for alcohol . Hopefully it would help them in the future, and stop tragedy happening.

Maybe footballers are affected by illiteracy,cz they're some of the most paid people across this planet but they fail to invest such money due to lack of knowledge, then age itself is another factor because by the time they become footballers they start at minor age to an extent that they don't know what their future looks like
